Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. Revelation 21:1-3 NIV

Take this test as you would take a test in class. When you are finished, check your work against the answers. On this assignment round your answers to three decimal places unless otherwise directed.

  1. Plot the points A(1, –2, 3), B(0, 3, –5), and C(–2, 0, 2)
  2. Use the points A(1, –2, 3), B(0, 3, –5), and C(–2, 0, 2). Let \(\overset{\rightharpoonup}{u}\) be the vector from A to B and \(\overset{\rightharpoonup}{v}\) be the vector from B to C.
